World of tanks low FPS with low CPU and GPU usage.
While playing world of tanks I'm getting about 100fps max while my CPU and GPU are at about 30%-40% usage while I have a limiter for 144 fps. gamemode, gamescope and setting wine topology didn't change anything. Playing on steam with wine experimental, tried GE and was getting a lot worse fps. Currently running Bazzite, but same issue on CachyOS.
My specs are: CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X, GPU: Nvidia RTX 3060TI, RAM: 32GB 3200Mhz, system and game on SSD's.

Steelseries GG alternatives?
I'm totally new to linux, and just installed Ubuntu Cinnamon yesterday. I'm currently using a steelseries Apex 7 keyboard on my PC, but I saw that Steelseries GG doesn't have a designated linux release. Is there some other alternative I can use to manage the colors and macros I use on my keyboard? Or should I try to run steel series gg through wine?

Arc Raiders constant crashes fix for CachyOS Linux!
This is for fixing frequent UE crash with no call stack and no error crashes on AMD GPUs. If you have similar symptoms to these, this could possibly help.
Potential fix: install flatpak steam, uninstall ARC from repo/native steam, clear ALL shader caches before launching on flatpak steam, and use proton 10.0-4
Flatpak Steam forces its own version of mesa that is stable.
Here's a handy cache clearing script. https://pastebin.com/1hZb4Bah
I hope this information helps someone else to be able to enjoy this game.

Is anyone running the Valve game Deadlock on linux successfully? How's the experience?
Alpakka 2 PRO controller has Linux support (and it's open source)
Is there a way to list games on protondb below a certain rating which haven't received a report in the last x months?
This is something which occurred to me a few months back since I've actually come across a few older titles which now happen to work but they haven't received any up to date reports since Proton7, etc.
If not then this seems like a good feature for the maintainers to add.

Poor performance on Fallout 4
Hello, as the title says I'm getting worse performance specifically on Fallout 4 than I'd like and I can't figure out why. No idea where to post this so I've chosen this sub.
I'll put my specs in a comment below, although I don't think they should be the reason for this as I'm still getting upwards of 60fps in everything else. In the Steam properties thing for this game I've put "DXVK_FRAME_RATE=60 %commannd%" and I'm still stuck bouncing around 37/38 for the most part, a few dips below but nothing too major. Everything is updated, and everything runs (framerate aside) as it should. I get better performance on my Steam deck than I am on a gaming PC.

Is this true?
All the hate on the internet about Windows 11 don't mean nothing , people keep using W11 even more XD.

Lag when trying to run Starcraft Brood War through Heroic, but "wine starcraft.exe" works perfectly fine, why?
I have the Starcraft: Brood War install folder copied from my old Windows partition, it runs fine when simply using $ wine StarCraft.exe (widescreen stretched), but when copying the game to ~/Games/Heroic/Starcraft and adding the exe from there, it lags/moves horribly.
Other games are a bit of a cointoss, usually the enhanced edition of games (Warcraft 2, Quake 2, both installed directly from connecting Heroic to my GOG account) runs perfectly fine from Heroic, but the legacy/classic version of the same has a similar kind of slowness/lag/delay.
I can't find anything useful about this issue (most solutions involve nvidia drivers, I'm on an AMD GPU), if anyone could give me any pointers?
OS: Linux Mint 22.3 - Cinnamon 64-bit
CPU: Ryzen 9 5950X
GPU: RX 9070 XT
Heroic logs in a separate comment to keep this post tidy.
